Just a quick update on my pollen chucking...

So the pollen sacs are starting to open and drop pollen from the 3 Stone Dragon males in the breeding cabinet. I have begun to collect pollen from each plant and keep them separated. Not sure I will get enough from each of them singularly, so I was thinking after I polleninate the female [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] with the male I have chosen, then I would just collect and store the remainder of the pollen from the 3 males and keep it all in the same vial? Is this a bad idea? I know I will have a mix of traits from each of the males, but at this point their smell and uniformity of growth, and branching are very identical for two of them ([HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] and [HASHTAG]#4[/HASHTAG]), while the [HASHTAG]#3[/HASHTAG] male is 3-4" taller. Doesn't appear to be a discernible difference other then the height of [HASHTAG]#3[/HASHTAG]. Puffs of pollen on the leaves right now as I would say only 3-5% of the sacs have opened. I would like to free the cabinet up for the next round of plants, Mephisto females that will be spewed in Stone Dragon pollen, by the beginning of March.

I am thinking of using 3 smallish females for the pollen chucking; Gold Glue, Blue Toof Special, and 24 Carat. These will be hit with the Stone Dragon pollen to create my first 3 crosses. Pictures in a couple of days...

I have no breeding expierence but I’m liking the crosses you want to do!!!

Thanks, looking for some heavy indica for sleeping issues. Both the Gold Glue and BTS by themselves are very good. And if I didn't have male autoflower pollen available, I would probably be using CS to make a male out of them in order to make some more seeds. But, everything about Stone Dragon seems to be on-point with what I have in mind, and I have (or will have) more than enough pollen. SD taken really long is supposed to be very narcotic in effect, so I am liking the idea of matching it up with those Mephisto ladies.

Day 45 update (except for Sweet & Sour which Day 27).

I have been collecting pollen from 3 male Stone Dragons to 1.) pollinate a Stone Dragon female, and 2.) pollinate several Mephisto varieties that I use as nighttime meds.
I dusted the SD female yesterday, and I have pistils turning brown, so I guess I was successful. I think I have enough leftover pollen from 3 combined to dust a few Mephisto strains I intend to run next. I am still collecting pollen at this point, but will start the three Mephisto seeds I intend to pollinate and I need to space that the SD males are using, so the clock is ticking for them to finish up spewing their pollen. I will need that space (in the breeding cab) in the next 7-10 days.

So I took some photo's to share with those who have knowledge of making seeds and those who have never done this so you can learn ( hopefully not from my mistakes.).
Chime in if you have questions or advice. Now to the pictures...

Some of the pollen collected...

Stone Dragon male [HASHTAG]#3[/HASHTAG] used to pollinate my sole female Stone Dragon [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG].

Stone Dragon males (from L to R: SD#2, SD#4, and SD#3)

Stone Dragon [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] female 30 hours after being pollinated, looks to have been successful.

White Crack on the left, and the final 2 pictures are of Sweet & Sour at Day 28, she started flowering at Day 25.

Like the looks of that Ghost Toof! Nice job Seymour!

Yep, agree @MrGoat, thanks. Glad I didn't stunt them (too much) with my nute mixup early in their life cycle. I can only assume when I get this MegaCrop v2.0 figured out, which I am in the process of doing, things will only get much better. I am currently adding BE (and GH CalMagic) to a base solution of MC@2grams and SC@1.5grams, trying to keep ppm's between 500-600ppm. I keep monitoring the plants to see when I have pushed too far. This should help me with future plants down the line. Also glad I purchased some extra Ghost Toof along with Sweet & Sour. Never can have too much (my hoarding mentality kicking in).

Give Green Planet a shot sometime when u have breathing room, no more worries about the Cal-Mag. @slowandeasy is doing a side by side grow of MC and GP.
I liked the MC, I just like the GP better, never used MC2.
Slow called Green Planet and talked with them about MediOne, Rezin and Massive. I am using MediOne, W-8, Massive and Finisher. I still use Greenleaf nutrients Bud Explosion which is fantastic stuff!

Looking good bro

Thanks @Dabber . You said it right @MrGoat , "...when I have some breathing room...", things have been happening fast and furious of late around here. I am interested in the Green Planet line, just so hard to pass on the cost of the Greenleaf line. I think I might have $30-$40 in the Greenleaf products, and I have enough to continue to grow for another year, or at least the rest of this year.
